Anubis
Anubis was the son of Nephthys. Anubis was displayed as a jackal, or as a human with a jackals head. Because jackals roamed around tombs Anubis became related with the dead.Anubis was worshipped as the creator of embalming. His task became to watch over the process of mummification. The process was to see if the dead persons heart weighed more than the feather of truth, the person would go to the underworld to be tormented forever.An animal called Tawaret

which was half hippo half crocodile and half lion eat the heart so that the person would never have it to get in the land of reeds which was heaven
If the heart weighed less than the feather of truth then the person would go to heaven which the Egyptians called the land of reeds. The drawback was that they had to work.
